ode to my scissors (a haiku)

oh tiny scissors
you are shaped like a heron
yet more expensive



*note: I bought these scissors for beading because, well, sometimes you just need tiny heron-shaped scissors. Make sure you go check out what they made.



ps - I'm still collecting for the AIDS Walk.... please go donate!

Veggie-eating non-smoker,
hard to live in the Midwest
I miss other states.

gray

Outside a gray day
no sunshine and no light breeze
Like my heart, inside

Sorry I had to be all goth for a second.

Seriously though, I'm not a happy des. Life is getting to me. Besides the issue that I mentioned earlier today, I am still focusing on being unemployed. It's been almost exactly a month since I walked out of my last job (still no regrets) but besides the vacation, I've just been sitting in my house since. We're ok for money, but because a large portion of our already-accrued money is going to this whole "moving" thing, we have to limit our fun time spending. No "extras" until I get a job.

I have been trying to get a job. There are days when I'm a real go-getter, applying to everything in sight, writing dynamite cover letters, working on other things that will further my career. Then there are days like today, when I try to apply but realize I don't want any of the jobs being offered. I'm sick of pointless office jobs, even if it's in an industry I like. Still yet there are days on which I don't look at jobs, I don't do anything except lie on my bed as a lump.

My life is definitely not where I want it right now. Even though the grayness outside means it's not so hot, I still don't feel like going outside. I do go out for some things, and once I'm out I have fun, but it's pretty darn hard to get motivated.

Said he needs more time
So I bought him a new watch.

birthday haiku

Happiest birthday
to Donald Trump and Boy George
oh, and to me



Don't forget, for the next few days I'll be off gallivanting around in CA with a bunch of lawyers, so probably you won't hear from me.

dreams haiku

funny things, these dreams
make no sense and perfect sense
all at the same time.
